'Healthy at Any Size' Influencers Are Literally Dying
2023-12-20
[HotAir] Eating disorders are rampant in the West, and when you add the unhealthy foods that our "food science" and marketing geniuses push on us, the result is an explosion in obesity. Not too long ago, anorexia was the problem du jour in the United States, and it still exists and needs to be taken seriously, but the most prevalent eating disorders in the West today are those tied to bad diets that make people extremely fat.

There is a movement that pushes hard to increase fat acceptance, and it has invaded every aspect of our culture. At base, the argument is simple: our culture and our healthcare industry have been captured by an ideology of fatphobia that tries to convince people that being thin and fit is superior to being obese, and that ideology is based on a pernicious lie.

This is, of course, totally absurd.

...Fat influencers are now dropping like flies, being taken far too young because they have become immersed in the "healthy at any size" ideology.

Apparently not far too young, but at just the correct time for such a lifestyle.

I'm fat and refused to give a toddler the extra seat I'd paid for on a flight - his mum lost it at me and angry passengers took her side

Story says mom didn't reserve a seat for toddler and was expected a handout.

#7  If the market has a health food section what's in the rest of the store?

That would be the High Fructose Corn Syrup section.

It appears to be time to update that classic biophysics lecture:
"Consider a spherical camel influencer ..."

#5  The seven deadly sins, also known as the capital vices or cardinal sins, is a grouping and classification of vices within Christian teachings.[1] According to the standard list, they are pride, greed, wrath, envy, lust, gluttony and sloth, which are contrary to the seven heavenly virtues.

How's that all working out for you?
